http://www.osnews.com/thread?594855Samsung is still a competitor, as simply as that!
Tizen makes sense only for Samsung and only if the company would like to follow a more tight software-hardware integration... let's say Ã la Apple

May be it's a bad example - developing stable filesystem is a humongous task.Edited 2014-08-26 01:10 UTCTue, 26 Aug 2014 01:08:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (shmerl)CommentsRE: been said beforehttp://www.osnews.com/thread?594873

http://www.osnews.com/thread?594877whenever Tizen sales did not quite make it, it will be abandoned just like Bada, no question asked
its Samsung afterall and consumers will doubt this OS's worthiness due to Samsung previous failure and irresponsibility

Unless ofcourse if Microsoft purchased Tizen over and integrate them into the new Nokia device, well thats an entirely different story.Tue, 26 Aug 2014 04:06:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (steinsgibber)CommentsRE: fail and abandonedhttp://www.osnews.com/thread?594880

That is a cold day in Hell. Tizen is a Linux based phone OS and MS is still betting the farm on Windows.

Also, if Microsoft backed Tizen, it would cement Linux with systemd and Wayland into place. That way MS would create a formidable competitor to Windows by themselves.Tue, 26 Aug 2014 07:11:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (r_a_trip)Commentsunable to predicthttp://www.osnews.com/thread?594885

http://www.osnews.com/thread?594905No one is going to allow Google to get 90% of the mobile market. So Tizen (or some other mobile OS) will be heavily backed by Samsung.Edited 2014-08-26 11:07 UTCTue, 26 Aug 2014 11:07:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (unclefester)CommentsRE: fail and abandonedhttp://www.osnews.com/thread?594908
http://www.osnews.com/thread?594908How do you mean Tizen sales ?

No one knows what the marketshare of any mobile OS will be in five years.

That's very difficult, although Tomi Ahonen, a former Nokia executive, has forecasted a lot of events related to mobile phones, and has published another report:http://communities-dominate.blogs.com/brands/2014/07/rest-of-decade...Tue, 26 Aug 2014 13:02:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (Nth_Man)CommentsRE: been said beforehttp://www.osnews.com/thread?594948
http://www.osnews.com/thread?594948The difference between Tizen now and iOS/Android when they started was that a company was actually invested in iOS/Android and they pushed it hard. I don't see anyone pushing hard on Tizen including its creators.Tue, 26 Aug 2014 16:51:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (leos)CommentsRE: Tizen...http://www.osnews.com/thread?594949
http://www.osnews.com/thread?594949Samsung backs Tizen so heavily that they recently cancelled the launch of the Samsung Z which was to be the first Tizen phone. The news came around only days before the launch was supposed to happen.

Not even Intel backs Tizen except by token gestures any longer, and are vastly more invested in Android today.Tue, 26 Aug 2014 16:52:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (chithanh)CommentsHe is not wrong!http://www.osnews.com/thread?594956

http://www.osnews.com/thread?594958Tizen can have a chance in the feature phone segment like the S40.

http://www.osnews.com/thread?594980It will be pretty much all smartphones soon... (besides, one could argue that Tizen is not a good feature phone OS and/or that switching focus like that isn't very feasible)Tue, 26 Aug 2014 22:35:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (zima)CommentsRE[2]: Tizen...http://www.osnews.com/thread?595021
http://www.osnews.com/thread?595021No, Android has 84.7% in Q2 2014 according to IDC.
Apple has 11.7% (down from 13.0% in Q2 2013)
WP has 2.5% (down from 3.4% in Q2 2013)

In order to reach 90% Android, the combined share of Apple+WP needs to go below 10% which is unlikely to happen this year. Next year I think it is possible if Android remains the only OS which grows unit sales.Wed, 27 Aug 2014 07:06:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (chithanh)CommentsRE[3]: Tizen...http://www.osnews.com/thread?595037
http://www.osnews.com/thread?595037Yeah, that's what I would call pretty close ...and seems almost inevitable to reach that 90%.Wed, 27 Aug 2014 12:58:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (zima)CommentsRE: been said beforehttp://www.osnews.com/thread?595044
http://www.osnews.com/thread?595044Nope, those who knew could see the writing on the wall for Symbian.

The problem for any other mobile operating system is that iOS and Android have heavily established application stores with lots of apps written for them, something that Symbian never had and that Nokia never saw the need for with all its inertia despite many seeing the writing on the wall. Some people laughed at me on here a few years ago when I said that either Nokia developed Symbian in that direction or both would die.

Even with Android, in the face of iOS it took it some time to get its application store up to any kind of critical mass. Now that Android is just about there there simply isn't room for any other OS nor is there any need. If you don't have an iPhone you can install Android everywhere else pretty freely in a way you could never do with Symbian.Wed, 27 Aug 2014 13:27:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (segedunum)CommentsRE: Tizen...http://www.osnews.com/thread?595045
http://www.osnews.com/thread?595045It's inevitable. If Samsung drops Android its own OS will fail and another manufacturer will be clear to install Android and sweep into the vacuum.Wed, 27 Aug 2014 13:30:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (segedunum)CommentsRE[2]: been said beforehttp://www.osnews.com/thread?595129
